I didn't see the post, but I'm guessing that it must have been Paulo il Magnifico (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3291).

[Gullible Jones]

Who the heck was that guy?

He's back. (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=14750)

[The Bad Astronomer]

Nope. Not any more.

[Lycus]

In that case, we can add rivitryder99 (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4705) to the list.

He seems to have another one, rivitryder (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4704), though he hasn't used it yet.

[TriangleMan]

Busy week for trolls. Schools are out and kids are bored already.

[Gullible Jones]

Wow... I saw some of Paulo il Magnifico's posts at FWIS last night, and I didn't know whether to laugh or shout something rude. The guy was idiot enough to tell Ikyoto to get off the board!

I suppose you all know the treatment Ikyoto gave him...

[jt-3d]

Blam, and craterchains (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=267037#267037) bites the dust. I was going to make another post in that thread. I'm glad I didn't as the thread would have been locked by the time I hit enter.

And there was more than one reason.

Never mind.

Anyone want to lay odds on Simon04 (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=291857#291857) joining this list shortly?

[Gullible Jones]

Me, for one.

[SciFi Chick]

From the FAQ:


So don't reply back calling them a troll, or starting a countdown (as in, a countdown to banning or deletion of the thread), or anything.

Just a friendly FYI. 8)

[TriangleMan]

I agree with SciFi Chick, let's keep this thread to discussing posters that have been banned, rather then speculate on posters who have not.

Mr Arriba's latest persona - Wildcat (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4681).

He'll be back with yet another persona or two.

DARN, I guess that I agree too...but, take a "gander" at the profile of our newest registered member (Palo) and tell me that there isn't something "fishy" going on. :-?

edited to add...well, he's not the "newest" member anymore. :)

Absolutely. Sometimes I sweat bullets wondering if I stepped too far out of line, and then I'm afraid to edit too much because of that other rule in the FAQ. It's much better to keep a cool head when posting in here.

I don't know if I share your high opinion of me, it seems I'm constantly straining my "mental muscle" just to keep up with what is being discussed on the board...HEY, I'm humble too. :lol: Obviously I'm kidding. :lol:

Anyway, I looked him up, he joined on the 5th and hasn't posted yet. I've thought about sending him a PM explaining how there could be a mix-up, and how he doesn't want to be blamed for something I might post (or the other way around). I'm thinking that I might just wait and see what develops. It could be an honest mistake. What do you folks suggest??

[ToSeek]

It probably is just an honest mixup, but you might want to mention your concern. Of course, if he never posts, then it's never a problem, is it?

[Wally]

I noticed he listed flight simulation as his interest, so one could assume his tag stands for Royal Air Force.

Of course, I originally thought that's what R.A.F. was in reference to as well! Live and learn, I guess!

I'd probably wait to see if he posts anything, then I'd introduce myself and recommend he switch.

[The Bad Astronomer]

genebujold has been reinstated. That was basically my mistake; he and I had discussed some posts, and I thought he had posted badly after the discussion, but in fact it was before. So I should not have banned him, and I apologize.

[SciFi Chick]

And this is what I love about this board. On the rare occasions that you make mistakes, you admit it and correct them. =D>

[R.A.F.]

I'd probably wait to see if he posts anything, then I'd introduce myself and recommend he switch.

I've "pretty much" decided that's what I'm going to do...and like ToSeek said, he may never post.

I was just thinking if (RAF) is intelligent, witty, and informed...well, I might not mind his posts being mistaken for mine. :lol:

[Lurker]

So I should not have banned him, and I apologize.
This is what makes this a good place to be.... way to go BA =D>

[R.A.F.]

I "kinda" know how the BA feels...I just had to correct an error I made on the planet X forum. :oops:

Could Gullible Jones be JS Princeton in disguise. GJ claims to be a 15 year old nerd, but seems very bright for his age.

I note that JS Princeton was banned on the 13th November 2003, and that Gullible Jones op'd on the 13th May 2004, perhaps after serving a six month ban? This is just idle speculation of course, and I apologise profusely if I am wrong.

But it seems to me that, while GJs posts are a little more mellow and brief for the most part, they are nonetheless similar!

JS Princeton: (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=166592#166592) "WRONG. This is absolutely untrue and JK should retract it because he is basically lying. However, it's nothing new. He's known for doing this."

Gullible Jones: (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=286937#286937) "This is my last post on this thread. I am tired of dealing with such high levels of intentional ignorance and illogic; therefore, I wash my hands clean of this whole business.

"Do not think that I am admitting defeat; I am admitting victory. This laughable parody of a theory has been beaten to death, yet you refuse to stop posting the same things, over and over and over again. I see not the use of beating a dead theory."

[milli360]

I don't think JS Princeton knew how to spell gullible.

[skeptED56]

I doubt it. In fact, after looking over posts by both JS and GJ, I doubt it in the extreme.

Plus, if you're wrong, this is one uber compliment to Gullible Jones. :)

[Gullible Jones]

Who the hell was JS Princeton?

And Soup, please stop trying to get me banned. ;)

(SkeptED56, what do you mean by "uber complement"? Was JS a real wiz?)

BTW, I actually am 15... Wouldn't call myself "giftewd" or anything, though. I just read too much. ;)

[skeptED56]

(SkeptED56, what do you mean by "uber complement"? Was JS a real wiz?)



JS Princeton (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=768)

Yes, JS was a real wiz and was banned, unfortunetly, for too many ad hominems. Also:


GJ claims to be a 15 year old nerd, but seems very bright for his age.

:lol:

Btw, it is "compliment," "complement" has a different definition. :wink:

[Gullible Jones]

Whoops... I hate typos... #-o

Well, I'm a bit different from JS in that I'm not exactly interested in religion... Unless you count the psychological aspects...


And Soup, thanks for the compliment. :wink:

[R.A.F.]

I just read too much. ;)

WHAT!! I didn't know there was such a thing as reading too much!! :lol:

[Gullible Jones]

There isn't. Some kids think there is, but they're wrong... either that or illiterate.

[junkyardfrog]

Also a poster named Obvious after only two very insult-riddled posts, not to be mistaken for Mr. Obvious.


Maybe I should change my name, just to be sure no-one gets us confused.


Sorry to jump in here, since I'm brand new to this board, but I recommend you keep your current username. The mods should make it policy to delete any new accounts that are too similar to current members. Trolls like to pull stunts like this to increase confusion. I say give them the boot. You can be polite about it, of course. Send them a PM (if this board has that feature) or an email and tell them they have to choose another name.

Just my two cents worth on that.

Very funny thread, btw.

That's an interesting technique... using both "male" and "female" sock puppets...

Of course, you still can't fool someone who can see your IP address...

Male and female sock puppets are fairly common. At least on some boards.

Whether or not someone "gets" you, look in the dictionary anyway, then turn to them and say with a straight face, "You're right, it's not in there." Lay the dictionary down, and see if they fall for their own joke.

Good riddance.

[Celestial Mechanic]

Good riddance.
I'm a little disappointed at losing him so soon, at least before I could make a (mostly) thoughtful reply. For example, I figured out how he got the numbers on that Kabala-esque chart of his. By this I mean the numbers that are not in square brackets (which were level numbers of some sort, the top-most [1] should be a [0], BTW) or parentheses (not sure what these are, but they seem to be in a repeating sequence of 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, ... modulo 3 working down). Of course his explanation of what these levels and numbers are is incoherent to say the least.

I regret not having had the chance to reply to one of his posts just so I could end my reply with "Brother, can you paradigm?" Aahh! Feel the catharsis!

What did Joey do?

He was a spammer, and so was his sock puppet. He brought up like 30 threads from last year, and added inane and meaningless comments. Check out the Planet X forum to see what I-- Oh, you never go there. Well, a lot of them are there, and a few of them are here in BABBling.

The discussion here (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=7984&postdays=0&postorder=asc&star t=0) certainly didn't help his case.

Wow. I guess he was attempting that DDOS thing here?
Not quite. DDOS = Distributed Denial-of-Service attack, in which multiple computers (usually in an automated fashion) flood a network node (usually a server or server cluster) with many handshaking-type requests, logon attempts, Web page requests, whatever. This has the effect of preventing anyone else from using the system, because it gets bogged down trying to answer all the requests. It's like preventing someone from calling your phone, or you from calling out, by setting up a dozen speed-dialers all calling you continuously. DDOS attacks often cause server crashes, and cause no end of headaches to system administrators.

Although the FBI, Dept. of Justice, NIPC (National Infrastructure Protection Center), etc., websites are a little murky on this subject, at least to my casual glance, I'm pretty sure an intentional DOS attack is a federal crime in the U.S.A. under the National Infrastructure Protection Act.

This guy and his sock-puppet were encouraging a DOS attack against someone else, not attempting one against BABB. But even if it was legal, and no matter how unlovely the proposed target, it's just wrong. It's like those yokels who get togeher and shout down someone giving a speech. :evil:

"Missed" as in "Darn! I really need to spend more time on the skeet range!"

As for shouting down, it is hardly confined to folks who are to the left on the political scale. Though perhaps, and I say this as someone who thinks of himself as kinda liberal, there may have been more of a history of protest from the "left" in general because the targets of protest have tended to be more establishment and happy with the status quo. That's a whopping generalization, but you get the idea. Anyway, I'll say no more on this political topic, at least not here.

My ex-sister in law put on a dinner party one night. Now, I'm not saying that she was completely inept in the kitchen, but.....I can't think of another way to finish that sentence.

The recipe called for a cup of chicken stock. So that's what she put in - she got a container of chicken stock cubes and ground them up until she had a measuring cup full and then put that into the food. 8 years later, the memory of the taste still brings me out in a cold sweat.

There are several examples of multiple posters from the same cumputer. But they are different family members. Good examples are husband and wife posters or siblings.

But they do not have one person with multiple active accounts. That is against the rules. That is what that person was doing. One person with multiple active accounts. That is not allowed. Nor is someone who was banned allowed to come back and post again under someone else.

I assume this is why Phil waits for proof of sock puppetry before swinging the ban stick. It's easy enough to find a poster's IP, with the exception of one ISP.

[tuffel999]

Some people could have multiple accounts appearing from the same ip if their are behind a router that is assigned just one ip by the isp and they are using NAT.

Two different people, no, that's not sock-puppetry.

On the other hand, if you were the same person (and I'm not accusing you of this, mind you) as one or more of Prince, Yul, Yannox, Oyvey, or Armilus (and I'm not saying one or more of them was the same, mind you), that would be.

[Cylinder]

He wasnt on any kind of network or anything it just happend to be the same though im not sure how that can happen i thought everyones ip had to be different.

Your provider has a chunk of IP numbers that it distributes to its customers. Some people have dynamic addresses which means they are assigned a new IP from the pool each time they connect. So I connect (say by dial-up), get an IP, do my dirty work, then hang up. My old address is returned to the pool and awaits another (unsuspecting) user to pick it up.

But its harder to mask your posting styles as two different people. You have to be prety good to do that.

I think if Hub' ever set up a sock puppet someone would notice :wink:

On WinXP, Tranquility? Surely there must be a way to do it on Linux... *nix is, after all, primarily designed for networking stuff...

(No, I won't even ask about Win98. No way that OS can have anything like what you described.)

Actually they both do. Remember in 98 you can completly remove TCP/IP and you can't in XP.

In linux try "dhcpcd -k". When using DHCP.

Yeah it's available in the other OS's I just haven't tried on anything besides XP.

Wow - that was before my time.... I have yet to have the free weekend needed to work on my advanced Hub'ology. I was following the Chanticleer posts for a while and then my brain exploded. I guess the pdx00782 is his Portland State homepage nic (http://web.pdx.edu/~pdx00782/) as well.

A free weekend?! LOL

And first, first things first: it's HUb'ology.

Lyford, you should register on HUb's web site and then post to one of his threads. You'll be surprised at how fast you start to understand him. :)

DAMN!!! We're losing another one to HUb'ology!!! :o

Heh... And suddenly, I have started taking my Latin notes in something that looks suspiciously like Lua. You may be losing me too... :o

Okay, HUb'ology it is. I had it right in my other posts back when I thought he was a rogue AI roaming the net. (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=321972&highlight=rogue#321972)

I lurked on the HUb'bb and the website, and I am so tempted to join, but right now I really shouldn't even be on this board as much as I am. Something about working for a living, I think. :wink: Not that posting here isn't a productive use of my time... :lol:

I understood from that other thread that HUb' uses Lynx (as I did, back in 1993-1995) to post and that may contribute to his "style."

BTW, is Manley Hubble (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/babbalbum/detail?.dir=7fff&.dnm=8f57.jpg) really HUb'?

according to a direct copy to MS word:
Pages: 23.

But then again it looks to be 90% copied form something else and other people. Heck i bet if you actually take time tro read it all there are probobly many sections that do not conform to his/her theory or edited to conform to it. Its just so freaking long nobody is going to bother to read it all.

The longest post I´ve ever seen in this board. Was he banned for posting copyrighted material?

Probably, how many people are going to bother reading a post that long?

[Musashi]

No, he was banned for being a sock puppet and his original was banned for calling names or in some other way being offensive.

[Humphrey]

Some day we should start a BABB banned posters self help group. All the people ove the years can get together, rant, talk and help eachother get throught their difficulties.
Just imagine Sibrel and Hoagland crying on eachothers shoulders reminding the other that somwhere, somhow the govt. is covering up something.
Or Mr Arriba and Nancy arguing over the finer points of the movement of alien spaceships.

Ahh it would be a site to see. One to be jotted down in history as the creation event of the black hole that was Earth.



Damn im bored and i really should be studying. :-P

IT would be an interesting conversation. It would be really scarry if they decide that one of them wins the argument.... :o

Tell me about it. I keep telling myself after playing some more of the Frozen Throne RPG campaign or the CoD United Offensive demo (it's awesome!) that it's probably time to go study after a long day at college. I keep telling myself that until I finally realise its midnight and time to go to bed.

side note. this week im getting Rome:Total war and the new COd. wanna play COD sometime ?

[Tranquility]

Sure. I guess I'll go get the game tomorrow or something then!

[Humphrey]

I won't be getting it till thursday or late wendesday (if they have it). So no rush. :-)

[Tranquility]

Heh I'd figured you'd get it on the weekend, I just thought I'd practice so I dont make a total fool of myself :D

Some stupid comments you keep hearing from kid gamers:

CoD Roxxors!!!
w00t, I pwned you!!!
get out n00b!

[Humphrey]

Sigh...newb. I shal rock your world, beware my leetness! mmuauahahahah!!! [damn did i just feel my brain shrink?]

I AM feeling the repercussions :D .
I actually played the original CoD quite often. Infinity Ward really totally rebuilt the Quake 3 engine to make this game so amazing.

[Gullible Jones]

Heh... Is this thing available for Gentoo Linux? Would it work on a P2 box with 192 Mb of RAM and a half a gig of swap space, or would my PC bork?

(Finishing up the Stage 3 installation of Gentoo right now, from within Damn Small Linux. Things seem to be going quite well... I might do a Stage 1 install when I have the time, during Christmas vacation perhaps.)

Edit: forgot to take the S3 Trio3D video card into account. Even if the rest of my computer could handle that game, I doubt the video card could...

Of course there is. Most of that select group of posters get banned for playing games. Of course they insist on playing to their own rules, etc., and...adios! :D

[Humphrey]

Sssooo....how about them banned people?
